I have both a pullstart and a starter box. I would much rather "lug" my starter box around. It is actually no extra burden. The starter box is in my larger box of rc stuff I always bring with me when I go. Just throw it all in the trunk of my car and take off. When I get to my destination, I take out my fold-out char, take out my rc box.. and set myself up. Not having the box with me wouldn't save me a single bit of time.. so might as well bring it. I also like it because I don't have to fish around for the pull start when I have the body on. Its just quicker to have the starter box I think. Plus, I ALWAYS forget to charge my glow starter, which forces me to use the one that connects to my starter box.
